Length of the fork arms

DANGER
Risk of accident due to the incorrect selection of
fork arms!
– The fork arms must match the depth of the load.
If the fork arms are too short, the load may
fall off the arms after it has been picked up.
In addition, be aware that the load centre of
gravity may shift as a result of dynamic forces,
such as braking. A load that is otherwise
resting safely on the fork arms may move
forwards and fall.
If the fork arms are too long, they can catch
on loading units behind the load that is to be
picked up. These other loading units then fall
over when the load is raised.
– For help with selecting the correct fork arms,
contact the authorised service centre.
